The Chile Adventure – Part 3: Lago Gral Carrera to Coyhaique
We had finally made it to Chile Chico and had crossed the border before they closed so we could make the ferry on time in the morning, everything seemed like it was going to work out perfectly. Since we had been so lucky thus far we decided to chance it again and skip the ferry to drive the scenic route around Lago Gral Carrera instead. In our defense, the ferry was going to take 2 hours and 45 minutes plus another hour and a half of driving and the scenic route around the lake was only 381 km (236 miles) so we figured it would end up being about the same amount of time even though the map said it would take 8 hours. Yet again we were wrong.
